The windshield wiper de-icer will automati-
cally turn off after approximately 15 min-
utes.

mode may turn off.
1 Press the automatic mode switch
or select “AUTO” on the sub func-
tion menu. ( P.273)
2 Press the outside/recirculated air
mode switch to switch to automatic
air intake mode.
The air conditioning system automatically
switches between outside air and recircu-
lated air modes.
3Adjust the temperature setting.
4 To stop the operation, press the off
switch or select “Off” on the sub
function menu. ( P.273)
If the fan speed setting or air flow
modes are operated, the automatic
mode indicator goes off. However,
automatic mode for functions other
than that operated is maintained.
QUsing automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically
according to the temperature setting and
the ambient conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until
warm or cool air is ready to flow immedi-
ately after the automatic mode switch is
pressed or “AUTO” is selected.
Cool air may blow around the upper body
even when the heater is on due to sunlight.
QWindshield fog detection function
When automatic mode is set, the humidity
sensor detects fog on the windshield and
controls the air conditioning system to pre-
vent fog.
QAutomatic mode for air intake control
In automatic mode, the system detects
exhaust gas and other pollutants and auto-
matically switches between outside air and
recirculated air modes.

Using automatic mode

2765-3. Using the air conditioning system
and the fan is operating, turning automatic
mode on will activate the dehumidification
function. The next time the dehumidification
function is turned off, the automatic mode
for switching between outside air and recir-
culated air modes is canceled.
This function automatically controls the
air conditioning airflow so that priority
is given to the front seats. When the
front passenger seat is not occupied,
airflow may switch to only the driver’s
seat. Unnecessary air conditioning is
suppressed, contributing to increased
fuel efficiency.
Front seat concentrated airflow mode
operates in the following situations.
No passengers are detected in the rear seats
 The windshield defogger is not
operating
While operating, illuminates.
QManually turning front seat con-
centrated airflow mode on/off
In front seat concentrated airflow
mode, directing airflow to the front
seats only and to all seats can be
switched via switch operation. When
the mode has been switched manually,
automatic airflow control stops operat-
ing.
Select on the center display
and switch the airflow.
 Indicator illuminated: Airflow to the
front seats only
 Indicator off: Airflow to all the seats
QOperation of automatic airflow control
OIn order to maintain a comfortable inte-
rior, airflow may be directed to seats
without passengers immediately after the
hybrid system is started and at other
times depending on the outside tempera-
ture.
OAfter the hybrid system is started, if pas-
sengers move around inside or enter/exit
the vehicle, the system cannot accurately
detect the presence of passengers and
automatic airflow control will not oper-
ate.
QOperation of manual airflow control
Even if the function is manually switched to
directing airflow to on ly the front seats,
when a rear seat is occupied, it may auto-
matically direct airflow to all seats.
QTo return to automatic airflow control
1 With the indicator off, turn the power
switch off.
NOTICE
QHumidity sensor
In order to detect fog on the windshield,
a sensor which monitors the temperature
of the windshield, the surround humidity,
etc. is installed.
Follow these points to avoid damaging
the sensor:
ODo not disassemble the sensor
ODo not spray the glass cleaner on the
sensor or subject it to strong impacts
ODo not stick anything on the sensor

Maintenance and care
Remove dirt and dust using a vac-
uum cleaner. Wipe dirty surfaces
with a cloth dampened with luke-
warm water.
 If dirt cannot be removed, wipe it off
with a soft cloth dampened with
neutral detergent diluted to approx-
imately 1%.
Wring out any excess water from
the cloth and thoroughly wipe off
remaining traces of detergent and
water.
QShampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foaming-
type cleaners available. Use a sponge or
brush to apply the foam. Rub in overlapping
circles. Do not use water. Wipe dirty sur-
faces and let them dry. Excellent results are
obtained by keeping the carpet as dry as
possible.
QHandling the seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water
using a cloth or sponge. Also check the
belts periodically for excessive wear, fray-
ing or cuts.
QWhen cleaning the carpeted portions of
the glove box, console box, etc.
If a strong adhesive tape is used, there is a
possibility that the surface of the carpet
could be damaged.
Cleaning and protecting the
vehicle interior
Perform cleaning in a manner
appropriate to each component
and its material.
Protecting the vehicle interior
WARNING
QWater in the vehicle
ODo not splash or spill liquid in the vehi-
cle, such as on the floor, on the rear
seats, in the hybrid battery (traction
battery) air vents, and in the trunk.
(  P.64)
Doing so may cause the hybrid bat-
tery, electrical components, etc. to
malfunction or catch fire.
ODo not get any of the SRS components
or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.
(  P.28)
An electrical malfunction may cause
the airbags to deploy or not function
properly, resulting in death or serious
injury.
QCleaning the interior (especially
instrument panel)
Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner.
The instrument panel may reflect off the
windshield, obstructin g the driver’s view
and leading to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
NOTICE
QCleaning detergents
ODo not use the following types of
detergent, as they may discolor the
vehicle interior or cause streaks or
damage to painted surfaces:
• Non-seat portions: Organic sub- stances such as benzene or gasoline,
alkaline or acidic solutions, dye, and
bleach
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solutions, such as thinner, benzene, and alcohol
ODo not use polish wax or polish
cleaner. The instrument panel’s or
other interior part’s painted surface
may be damaged.

4168-1. Specifications
QTraction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B and C, and they
represent the tire’s ability to stop on
wet pavement as measured under con-
trolled conditions on specified govern-
ment test surfaces of asphalt and
concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction
performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to
this tire is based on braking (straight
ahead) traction tests and does not include
cornering (turning) traction.
QTemperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B, and C, representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation of
heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the
material of the tire to degenerate and
reduce tire life, and excessive temperature
can lead to sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of perfor-
mance which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades of a tire
assume that it is properly inflated and not
overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or exces-
sive loading, either separately or in combi-
nation, can cause heat buildup and
possible tire failure.
